Section of the A3 to close over the weekend
A section of the A3 will close in both directions over the weekend as the £317m Wisley interchange upgrade continues in Surrey.
National Highways has said the closure will be between the M25 Junction 10 and the Painshill Roundabout in Cobham, lasting from 21:00 BST on Friday until 06:00 on Monday.
The works include installing an overhead road sign holder, drainage work in the central reservation and installing trenches for technology across all lanes.
Diversions will be in place across the weekend.
The same section of the A3 will be closed again from 4 to 7 July, say National Highways.
The works are part of a project to ease congestion on the A3 and the Wisley Interchange and are due for completion in 2026.

FleetCheck calls for UK to match EU hydrogen station targets
FleetCheck is urging the UK Government to align with European Union (EU) targets to establish a hydrogen filling station nearly every 200km on major roads by 2030. According to the fleet software specialist, this aims to maximise zero-emission fuel options for vehicle operators, addressing infrastructure gaps that hinder hydrogen adoption. FleetCheck CEO Peter Golding highlighted the issue at a recent hydrogen summit, noting BMW's reluctance to introduce its new fuel cell model to the UK due to inadequate infrastructure. He said: 'We are in a situation where an almost complete absence of infrastructure means we are in danger of being left behind when it comes to hydrogen, even though there seems to be general agreement among fleets that it has a definite role to play in the future.' Golding explained that Hydrogen is seen as a promising option for commercial vehicle operators, where battery electric vehicle adoption faces challenges related to range and payload. Electric van adoption has been slower than anticipated, with operational issues persisting for some fleets. Vauxhall's new hydrogen van, offering a range of approximately 400km and five-minute refuelling, presents a viable zero-emission alternative. However, the lack of refuelling stations limits its practicality unless fleets can afford to bunker fuel. Golding emphasised the need for a balanced government approach promoting diverse zero-emission fuel options. He stated: 'It seems obvious to operators that some fuel choices are more suitable for certain applications, but the UK Government approach appears to be almost entirely centred on battery electric vehicles, simply because they are available here and now. Following recent amendments to the ZEV Mandate, which grant the motor industry additional flexibility, the hydrogen sector stands to gain, potentially attracting investment in infrastructure development. Golding concluded: 'UK fleets should be calling for this to happen."
